A227944 Number of iterations of "take odd part of phi" (A053575) to reach 1 from n. 11

%N Number of iterations of "take odd part of phi" (A053575) to reach 1 from n.

%C a(n) >= A256757(n) - 1.

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A227944/b227944.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F For n > 1, a(n) = a(A053575(n)) + 1.

%e a(18) = 2 because it takes two steps to reach 1 from 18: phi(18) = 6, the odd part of which is 3, and phi(3) = 2, the odd part of which is 1.

%e a(19) = 3 because it takes three steps to reach 1 from 19: phi(19) = 18, the odd part of which is 9, and phi(9) = 6, the odd part of which is 3, and phi(3) = 2, the odd part of which is 1.

%t oddPhi[n_] := Module[{phi = EulerPhi[n]}, phi/2^IntegerExponent[phi, 2]]; Table[Length[NestWhileList[oddPhi[#] &, n, # > 1 &]] - 1, {n, 100}] (* _T. D. Noe_, Oct 07 2013 *)
